From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you have any experience with Docker? I've been running a mail server myself without too much trouble. More than happy to help if you wanted similar.
Yes, but since it is for my business, I did not want to risk emails not getting delivered properly.
I only pay Microsoft like $6 a month, and I have no problem with that expense for the piece of mind.
I just hate Microsoft and want to use their products as little as possible.
